Southampton have announced the signing of Lazio defender Wesley Hoedt on a five-year contract.
Hoedt, 23, becomes Southampton's third summer signing and will wear the No. 6 shirt.
"I'm really happy to be here," the Netherlands international told Southampton's official website. "I think Southampton is a really big club, so it's a good next step for me to come here and to play in the Premier League and try to help the best I can."
Southampton vice-chairman Les Reed added: "Wesley is one of the most promising young defenders in Europe and represents a significant addition to our squad. Having procured a Champions League finalist from one Italian club we have now added an Italian Supercoppa winner from another.
"We believe he has all the qualities to play a big part in our future, and we have worked hard to bring him to Southampton, with a number of other high-profile clubs interested in him.
